PENERAPAN PRINSIP DESAIN BIOFILIK UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KUALITAS LINGKUNGAN DI PANTI REHABILITASI NARKOBA

Drug usage and trafficking have been major problems for the Indonesian Government. Medan is the 3rd biggest city in Indonesia and has the highest number of drug distribution and use in Indonesia. To eradicate this problem, a drug rehabilitation facility is needed that not only has a good program but also has appropriate physical facilities. However, the current drug rehabilitation facilities in Medan City can only accommodate a small number of drug addict patients, so additional rehabilitation facilities will greatly assist in the treatment of patients. In addition, existing facilities have not focused on designing a built environment that can accelerate the healing process. This study aims to design a drug rehabilitation facility that specifically focuses on post-healing mental health and the mental health of drug abusers. The design of drug rehabilitation in Medan uses a biophilic design approach. This design research employs a qualitative, descriptive methodology. The strategy involves surveying the land and analyzing similar buildings through photo documentation. The use of software applications such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape supports the design process. In the design of the drug rehabilitation center, various natural elements are integrated to foster interaction between humans and nature. Vegetation is incorporated to facilitate visual engagement, while water features are included to promote non-visual interaction. Additionally, roster materials and secondary skins are intended to establish a material connection with nature and provide protection for the building's users.
